Number Four Although I have documented through convincing arguments in Number 3 that it is the practice of Allah since time imme- morial to destroy the one who imputes falsehood to God, I again remind the wise that what I have explained is absolutely the truth. Let him [the reference is to Ha fi z Muhammad Y u suf, see the beginning of Number 3] beware lest he adopts the path of destruction by accepting the interpretation of some adversarial maulaw i in opposition to me.

Allah the Exalted is Holy and far beyond doing anything in vain. Hence, given the situation in which this H ak i m [the All-Wise God] has expressed this verse and, in similar fashion, another verse whose words are: 1. And if he had falsely attributed even a trivial statement to Us ( S u rah al- Ha qqah, 69:45). [Publisher]
